Kawhi Leonard is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the LA Clippers’ squad. He performs in every game, whether they lose or win. It was just Game 2 when Kawhi failed to impress the critics as he only managed 13 points.

But he made a statement in Game 3 by scoring big and giving his fans something to talk about. The Klaw opened his talons and swooped the Nuggets out of the game. He dropped 23 points, 6 assists, and 14 rebounds in the game.

He had 9 field goals with an accuracy of 47.4% and played for a total of 42 minutes. However, this one move from him became the talk of the town, leaving everything behind.

Kawhi Leonard and his finger touch for the Clippers

The Klaw denied Jamal Murray a dunk as he came from nowhere, cruising like a tiger wearing a Clippers’ jersey. He jumped and stretched his hands so long, so high, that Jamal could not convert his shot.

Kawhi’s middle-finger got the job done by denying the ball the trajectory, and this picture became an iconic one for everyone to remember.

Even Paul George who scored an astounding 32 points, said after the game, “That’s an extra long middle finger — it kept growing or something.”

Everyone forgot Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets at one go!

The beginning of the match got people to talk about the impressive play from Nikola Jokic, who enjoyed a great game. One of his shots where he got the rebound and threw the ball back like a quarterback got great traction on Twitter. 

The center player added 32 points and 12 rebounds in the game. He missed by 2 assists to notch a triple-double in the game. The entire match was played neck-to-neck until the last quarter, where the Clippers came out very strong.

Jermay Grant failed to stop Kawhi Leonard this time around, and Jamal Murray had yet another quiet outing. Let’s see if the Nuggets can turn things around in the next game.
